[First all to be seen is an angry blond with two feathered wings protruding out his back over a ripped shirt. He steps in the fountain, shouts things at the sky, turns to leave, then stops, staring right at the screen.]

Huh? What's this thing? [Camera angle tilts.] Looks like a camera. With a keyboard. Maybe a very small computer. But maybe a video camera, too, 'cause I'm on the screen, and it says it's recording. [Keeps examining it.]

Uh. Whatever. I don't have time for this. [Angle changes as he's about to put it down, then he suddenly stops and quickly it's pulled back to this face.]

Wait! Does this pick up sound? Can you hear me? God, you asshole?! Sara? Kurai? Lucifer? Uriel? Michael? ANYONE? What the hell is going on out there? I came in to find God and he's not here? [An arm flings out in irritation to gesture at his surroundings.]

Where are you? You hiding from me? Turning coward NOW, after everything?

We have something to settle, and I need to take Sara back and return the world the way it was. So get out here and stop playing these illusion games!

[He's quiet then and stares at the device while pushing at buttons on the screen, but it just goes to voice.]

Crap. Still says it's recording something. How do I shut this thing off....[Either he finally figures it out, or it turns off by itself.]

[ooc: For those by the fountain feel free to greet him in person.]

I saw your head lobbed off! How...?

[You saw what happen to who???]

[...but you were dragging my sorry ass up the Tower to find Rosiel last time I checked. So how...?]

It seems much has changed.

[This is really beginning to weird him out.]

What do you mean?

...what's the last thing you remember?

[...not sure he should answer that at first...]

The Tower of Etemananki.

[That's okay, because Setsuna's not sure what he should be feeling here.]

Had you run into me yet?

No.

Were you there?

Yes...and.... [Sigh. This whole thing is just too much.]

I ran into you, and we found God and Rosiel together, with Kurai. But I guess you wouldn't remember any of that, huh?

No.

I was falling into the Tower.

It was shortly after that...well, you fell near us.

You were mess.

That is where I should have fallen.

Yes, I know.

[Fuck, this is killing him, in a way. Thinking about how Katan died. Then Rosiel's here, crazy as ever. What does it all mean? Why don't any of them remember the exact last things?]

Hey.... Katan?

Just one thing: Are you happy here?

[What kind of a question is that? He's unsettled. Katan's whole existence has been spent in striving towards, not obtaining. Even now, he's still striving towards without obtaining. Some things are as he would have them (he can serve Rosiel here), but many more are not (Rosiel's madness is unchecked, Heaven and Assiah are not mended, there's still chaos in Heaven and Hell, and no resolution so long as they're here). Happiness in the present isn't something he gives a great deal of thought to, not when there's so much to do and so much left to be done. But...]

Lord Rosiel is here. And my place is to serve him. And I am content with my place.

[He tries not to think too hard about how much can be traced back to him and all the black magic and blood magic he was willing to perform to revive his sleeping Lord...

But...happiness...]

I was an idiot, you know? I always thought you were just my enemy. And, well, if you ever give me any trouble I won't hesitate to smack you one.

But.... I'm glad you're at least content. That's something. [He almost wants to tell Katan to never go back. That he's too loyal. That Setsuna wishes it had never happened, and right in front of him, too. And he did NOTHING. Just watched it happen in shock.]

And I'll do my best with Rosiel, too, so as not to give you too much trouble, or reason make any problems.

[No, he knows you will, as you say, "smack him one" if there's trouble. There's no doubt in his mind there.

But, still... Strangely...

He won't call it an alliance. That would be ridiculous. But it almost seems as though they may not be at such cross-purposes as it first seemed. And that's a strange set of circumstances.]

That would be best for you as well. But your presence can be enough to agitate him. You know these things.

I know.... [Very depressed look, head in hands at one point.]

But to completely ignore him would piss him off even MORE.

[He just doesn't want you hurt again, Katan. Not like that. Not for being loyal. He's seen enough of that.]

Likely so.

Can you endure it?

Of course I can!

As long as I don't have to watch anyone else get hurt again, I can handle anything!

I wonder, then.

...wonder what?

This place can be cruel.

Really? I think it's kinda been that already by just bringing some of us here. How much worse can it get?

It can be.

[No one's explained much about curses and what not, yet.]

How?
